Which team will impress?
Which team will disappoint?
Who will be the best rookie?

Who will win the most races? - Vettel
Who will take the most poles? - Vettel
Which driver will impress? - Massa
Which driver will disappoint? - every driver of the Marussia/Caterham lineup
Who will win races? - Vettel, Alonso, Raikkönen, Button (wow, feels weird not to include Hamilton here)
Which team will impress? - Sauber
Which team will disappoint? - Mercedes
Who will be the best rookie? - Bottas
Who will win the WDC? - Vettel
Who will win the WCC? - Red Bull

Other predictions?
I think the season won't be so close-fought as many assume. Could be that Ferrari haven't made a big enough step with their car, McLaren will be compromised in quali due to its drivers and the Lotus will be quick but unreliable. So we might see more Vettel/Red Bull pole-to-flag victories than we would like.
Honestly, I just want to see another WC, no matter who it is. It's about time.

Who will win the most races? Vettel
Who will take the most poles? Vettel
Which driver will impress? Massa/Hulkenberg/Hamilton
Which driver will disappoint? Toro Rosso and Marussia pair, Bottas
Who will win races? Vettel, Alonso, Perez, Button, Raikkonen, Hamilton, Hulkenberg
Which team will impress? Mercedes/Sauber
Which team will disappoint? Toro Rosso, Force India
Who will be the best rookie? Razia
Who will win the WDC? Vettel
Who will win the WCC? Red Bull

Other predictions?
Tire degradation will be a major issue. The Pirellis will tear up like candy floss, and it will be the story of the season.
Alonso will face the same scenario in which the car is not fast and is difficult to drive, but will be unable to match his 2012 performance. The championship will be more straight forward.
Hamilton will make a firm statement to all his critics by showing how good he is in a slower car.
Perez will do better than expected, matching Button at the end of the season.
Hulkenberg wins a race.
